PP 2007: Problem to fire built-in commands through VBA

Hi,

how do you fire the classical File New dialog from VBA in PowerPoint 2007?

It is the same as manually click the Office button, click New and finally
click My templates...

Thanks for any help on this,
Peeter

CommandBars.ExecuteMso ("FileNew") maybe does most of this

Sorry I haven't answered before - I tthought I'd checked the box that I shall
be notified of any replies - but I haven't so I guess I missed that.

Anyways, your suggestion fires the "new" New Presentation dialog. I want to
get the old one - the one you get when you click "My templates..." in the New
Presentation dialog.

So I still need help!

Thanks,
Peeter
